Our Iowa team has been busy spreading holiday cheer by supporting non-profit organizations in their communities.
Each year the Decorah, Iowa, team volunteers at the Clayton County Food Shelf in St. Olaf, Iowa, to pack 225 holiday meal kits for people in need.
Our crew in Newton, Iowa, helps with the annual St. Nick’s Christmas Club project, a program established in 1988 to ensure children in Jasper County, Iowa, have a happy Christmas. This year our team wrapped gifts for 370 children.
As part of this project, our Iowa Extended Leadership Team (ELT) donated a bicycle for a 7-year-old boy who asked for one on his wish list. The boy currently has a pacemaker and is waiting for a heart transplant.
Our Dubuque, Iowa, team volunteered to help with Reflections in the Park, a drive-through Christmas light event that supports Hillcrest Family Services. The agency supports more than 30,000 people each year through educational, counseling and health services. This is always a fun event as our employees get to greet the customers who come to the park.
We partner with our communities and customers, providing the kind of energy that fuels those areas and the lives of those we serve. Feel free to share the stories and photos. Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube, and Pinterest for more!
